David Banner Analysis

We decided to analysis David Banners video 'Play' as it is the same Genre as our chosen Music Video 'Baby Got Back' which is Dirty rap.
The two videos are very different but the writing that comes up on the screen is the same.



 There are many camera techniques used in the Play video, but at the beginning it is just words that fill up the screen. However there is then many close ups, medium shots and long shots. For example you can see from our 9 shots above that is there is a close up of a girl exercising and an extreme close up on David Banner in the 6th shot. The last shot is a pan shot with David himself instructing the girls to exercise. The rest of the video consists of simular shots. 

The set in the background is always made of bright block colours for example blue green, orange and yellow backgrounds above. The costumes are very minimal i.e colourful sports wear and David is wearing an all white tracksuit, the colours used are very eye catching so the audience is drawn to the video. The few props that are used in this video are a newspaper held by David Banner, the treadmills the girls run on, the terbotrainers for cycling and the weights.

The only editing techniques we could see was the cuts and wipes inbetween shots and adding the writing at the beginning.  

We will use  the video for this song to help us on our one minute animation.
